The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

huge opportunity for people from Philadelphia and the broader Delaware Valley, tbh

As long as I live, I’ll never forget seeing wheelchair users zip tied for protesting…

We’re not done yet. If you’ve got a GOP senator, be their personal thorn in their voicemail box.

This is what Unregulated AI can do. This is what the tech industry wants. It’s in the GOP bill.

weird to be blocking so many AL Franken defenders in 20 fucking 25

If evil exists — and it does — then certainly telling parents they’ll get over your murdering their children is evil.

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

Trump now hinting he may suspend the billions of dollars the U.S. annually supplies to Israel unless the country's prosecutors halt their corruption trial of Netanyahu, who is facing charges of fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes

Please turn off the lights in the Senate, Senator Wyden. Like literally just turn off the lights. Gum things up, buddy.

I just voted NO on the motion to proceed on the Big Ugly bill. Let’s be clear: Voting YES on this procedural motion IS voting to let Republicans pass the largest health care cuts in history. This isn’t over. There will be debate & amendments. SENATORS MUST VOTE DOWN THIS BILL!

They do this cause they know the bill is terrible for their states & districts. So they post a tweet opposing it, then fold right after. That way, come election time, they can claim they “fought it.” 99% of the time, that fight was complete BS.

@schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social y'all are both already on the thinnest fucking ice of your careers. try us.

i am simply of the belief that letting Republicans repeat over and over again that science is not on the side of trans people without answering them in kind is bad. it's a lie and should be called a lie. you can't compromise with this.

Every major health system in Louisiana is warning Speaker Mike Johnson and the rest of the state’s congressional delegation that the Senate GOP’s planned Medicaid cuts “would be historic in their devastation.”

Budapest Pride! Sent from a friend on site. ❤️

Orban banned it, so even more people turned out

We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps

My synesthesia allows me to experience music as colors and shapes, for example, this is what I see in my mind when I hear jazz.

Oh you (and we) all know how…

Oh my god. Can someone run for office and let me play the mean one? I did not know this was a job

Ok that’s it this is a concerted group effort there is no denying it. The Dem establishment got together in a back room and said “how are we gonna stop this man from making change in the party he is too dangerously progressive and popular.” And then they all agreed “use the Jews.”

Rereading "Neither Settler nor Native", published in 2020, and Mahmood Mamdani's dedication is: "For Zohran, You teach us how to engage the world in difficult times, may you inspire many and blaze a trail!"

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

hi, cis folks! the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor. if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi 🧵

Mamdani came close though when he demanded Cuomo say his name correctly. He fizzled the landing but it stuck enough withthe zeitgeist that they turned it into a ticktock song set to hollaback. But he's right that broadly speaking Mamdani can't be a hater cause racism

the lander/mamdani partnership is fantastic because lander has that hater's spirit that zohran isn't allowed to bust out, every public-facing nice person needs a mean bud

‼️‼️

The fact that everyone refers to it as the Big Beautiful Bill is so sycophantic and embarrassing

We had ample reason to stop listening to Lawrence Summers after he claimed that women were innately worse at math and science. We could have just stopped treating him as a Serious Authority then, before he urged high unemployment to stop inflation or his latest garbage attack on Mamdani.

Around midnight last night Senate Republicans dropped a NEW version of their Reconciliation bill with MORE cuts to Medicaid and many provisions that violate the rules and gut vital programs for Americans. Their plan? Jam it through in the coming days regardless of what the American people think.

The Right really is in disarray because they cannot seem to figure out if they should push “Zohran Mamdani is going to bring Sharia Law” or “Zohran Mamdani treats his wife with too much equality” as a smear campaign, so they are doing both.

cory booker, former tight end for stanford, has the chance to redeem himself for confirming all those trump officials

BREAKING: In response to today's Supreme Court ruling, we filed a nationwide class-action lawsuit against the Trump administration’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship. Birthright citizenship makes our country strong and dynamic. We are using every tool in our toolkit to defend it.

ICE is a terrorist organization.

This is not about "left" vs "right" anymore — and it hasn't been for a long time. The oligarchy feels safer if people split along the old “left” vs.“right” battle lines, so they won’t notice they’re being shafted and won't join together to fight back.

Medical care should be a decision made between a patient and their doctor. #Transgender care should never be a legal issue, it is a #HumanRight. We stand against the #SCOTUS ruling and stand for our transgender siblings. #WeDissent

Thank you, @mass50501.bsky.social, for this essential article on self-care in this week’s newsletter. This tired warrior needed to read it & I hope others seeing this skeet will read & share it with their groups. I especially love the idea of seeking 3 microjoys daily!

In "One, Big Beautiful Bill" news, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders and other Republican governors are calling on Senate Republicans to remove language placing a 10-year moratorium preventing states from regulating AI.

A federal proposal that would ban states from regulating AI for 10 years could soon be signed into law as part of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” techcrunch.com/2025/06/27/c...

Big Beautiful Bill AI moratorium unites unlikely group of critics https://www.europesays.com/us/20834/ As Senate Republicans rush to pass their hodgepodge tax and spending package — the Big Beautiful Bill —…#us #news #usnews

states spent YEARS making plans to spend BILLIONS in infrastructure bill broadband grant money now they lose all of it if they attempt ANY oversight of big tech companies and their energy-sucking AI efforts both options suck and will harm millions enjoy rule under corrupt right wing zealots

NEW: The mother who sued Character.AI and Google for negligence over the death of her 14-year-old son — who died by suicide following extensive interactions with unregulated chatbots — has written an open letter against the proposed 10-year moratorium on AI regulation. futurism.com/mother-teen-...

Utah’s top politicians — from legislative leaders to the governor — are pushing back against a provision in the "Big Beautiful Bill" that would prevent states from regulating AI.

This thing has $9,995,000,000 for a Mars mission. I can't imagine which South African asshole that might benefit.

At midnight on Saturday, because they’re so proud of it and want all of us to know what good work they’re going to do for the American people
